Sony 10 bit displays and Blu-Ray

[GeorgeCaplan]

Hi

I notice that Sony has some LCD TVs with "10 bit displays". For example HD 40W3000 and HD 40X3000 (UK model numbers). My assumption is this is the number of bits per colour.

I appreciate that a 10 bit display should eliminate any colour banding over an 8 bit display. Although whether I would see banding on an 8 bit display is another issue.

My question is this. Does the output of a Blu-Ray player, go up to 10 bits per colour (or higher)?

Sorry if this has been asked previously
